Uniontown K9 Officer Mike Garrow, overcome with emotion after two western Pennsylvania police officers were killed in the line of duty, decided he needed to honor them.

"I returned home from the funeral of Lower Burrell police Officer Derek Kotecki, a fellow K9 officer," Garrow said. "The song just started to come to me."(Listen to the full song HERE)

Garrow said he completed the song after returning from East Washington police Officer John David Dryer's funeral.

He recorded the song to honor all of law enforcement during Police Week in Washington, D.C.

"This song is dedicated to all the law enforcement officers who paid the ultimate sacrifice and unfortunately the ones who will," Garrow said. "Every day when you put on the vest and the gun it can happen and anything can happen."

Garrow said he hopes his song allows people to see police officers are men and women, husbands and wives, and people who are loved.

"I'm sure when these officers ran into these situations, they didn't know that it would be their final day, and their families didn't know it either, and those tragedies are so important to think about and remember," Garrow said
